GSoC: Lazy/Asynchronous Plasmoid Initialization

Hello,

I'm interested in doing the "Lazy/Asynchronous Plasmoid Initialization"
project for this year's GSoC.

libs/kworkspace/kdisplaymanager.cpp mess

Hi everyone,

after fixing a bit in the $subj file I've realized it (in my opinion)
should be split into one abstract class with a factory handling the
back-ends provided by the current session managers such as ConsoleKit and
systemd-logind while providing one module for the legacy DMs with their
socket communication protocols.

I would leave creating the CK module to somebody who is experienced with
how exactly the whole system works and knows if it is safe.
The systemd module would be done by me as all the legacy methods of
session management are not necessary with it.

Hi

Don't know if this is a bit off topic (and if such is the case I am real
sorry), but I am in real need of you. Thing is, I am a frequent user of
open source software, and I am often amazed by the efforts people make in
order to provide me with products and services for free. I am now
conducting research for a masters' thesis trying to find out what motivates
developers to participate in open source projects.

GSoC request for assignments

written in Ruby in order to contribute before making my proposal.
Unfortunately, there seems to be none. projects.kde.org and

that there
isn't any parser like that in kdelibs, and another one that pointed me

KMix2 and SoundMenu sounds GREAT!

Hello!

My name is Antonio Ramirez and I am a student of Computer

Informática y Telecomunicaciones), Granada, Spain. I want to participate
in GSoC this year, I have read the page of proposed projects and I love
that of KMix2 and SoundMenu.

global default panel height change?

In openSUSE,
/usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma/layout-templates/org.kde.plasma-desktop.defaultPanel/contents/layout.js
contains this line:

panel.height = screenGeometry(panel.screen).height > 899 ? 35 : 27

I always want 25%-33% more panel height than KDE developers think is
appropriate, so I have been changing it to

panel.height = screenGeometry(panel.screen).height > 899 ? 47 : 35

Each system update that included this file was overwriting my change. To
compensate, I've been setting the immutable flag on the file.

kded: Disable KHostnameD in KDED

Git commit 8d99f863724c6fe76d008da4455fa177af2ee3ee by Àlex Fiestas.
Committed on 15/04/2013 at 12:24.
Pushed by afiestas into branch 'master'.

Disable KHostnameD in KDED

KHostnameD monitors the hostname by polling gethostname every 5 seconds
to adapt some bits of the environment in case the hostname changes. In
systems with only a local X server this does not matter at all. In
systems using remote X you should not change your hostname, period.
In most distributions changing your hostname no longuer breaks X access
for local applications since xhost is configured correctly.
